Berry-Berry Sauce for Pancakes

Enjolinfam's Note:

Sounds absolutely delicious, though I haven't tried it yet. I added it in here for safe keeping, because I plan to make it as soon as I can get my hands on some berries! Was on a mother's day cooking show with the Micheff Sisters titled "Breakfast with Mom."

Yummy! I made this today with frozen mixed berried I had in the freezer, it was delicious! I had to substitute cranberry juice for apple as I was out, but otherwise made as described. I made this along with "Brandied Custard Crepe Filling" #323013 to go together in breakfast crepes, it was perfect!! I will be keeping this recipe, thanks for posting!

This was a hit with my kids and hubby...they all loved it. I used raspberries instead of blueberries because our grocery store didn't have any fresh blueberries, just the raspberries. I used 1 c. of sugar instead of the recommended 1/4-1/2 c. because we like sweet things! I used apple juice with this recipe. The dash of cinnamon I just poured some in eyeballing it because we all like cinnamon too, it went over very well. My oldest son said it was better than IHop so I guess I did alright with my substitutions... lol Thanks for sharing this recipe, I'm sure my family will be demanding it again. Excellent recipe!

This was pretty good. I did need to add quite a bit more sugar though. I used it with blueberry pancakes and my hubby really liked it too. We just ate some of the leftovers with vanilla ice cream last night. That was yummy too! Made for ZWT 4.
